Twists on banana bread

At the grocery store we picked up a good deal on nine cups of banana.  This enticed me to experiment with 3 different banana bread recipes.  Ilango was used as a blind tester. By the third recipe my imagination was going wild.  All where very good.  Ilango's favorite was the third.
